Why I Like this Recipe
I like this carrot spread because it tastes fresher than most creamy spreads. The carrots add a little sweetness, the gherkins and onion give it a sharper bite, and the curd cheese makes it filling without turning it heavy. It is the kind of thing I would make once and use for quick breakfasts or snacks over the next few days.
Tips and Variations
- Use Skyr instead of yoghurt if you want a thicker texture and a little more protein.
- Add a teaspoon of mustard for a sharper taste.
- Mix in fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill to boost the flavour.
- Use low-fat curd cheese to keep it lighter.
- Spread it on wholegrain bread or crispbread for a simple, light meal.
- It also works well as a dip with carrot sticks, cucumber, or rice cakes.
- Add some shredded chicken to make it a more filling meal.
Meal Storage
Store the carrot spread in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving. Let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes before eating for the best taste.
